Bob Bashara said his wife came home from work Tuesday night but then later wasn’t at home and stopped answering her cell phone.

“When I walked in the house, I thought she was in the house somewhere. It wasn’t until I went up and changed and then searched through the house and went out to the garage to see that her car was gone that I knew she was out,” he said. “I, frankly, thought she was running an errand.”

He reported her missing that night.

Police said Bashara’s purse was still in her SUV, but there was no cash in it.

“It’s just unthinkable that this happened to her, that she had to suffer,” Bob Bashara said. “I am just so upset by it.”

Police are reviewing surveillance video from the building where Bashara worked in the New Center area.

Bob Bashara said police have questioned him, but that they’re just doing their job.

“Someone did this to my wife. I’m doing what I need to do to cooperate with the authorities to find who did this to my wife,” he said.
